BAD WEATHER FAILS TO MAR INTEREST IN CHRISTIAN REVIVAL IIHORII CROWD 111 Utl REV. KURBELL LAST EVENING SKVKN MORE ADDITIONS (Contributed.

I Ther. were seven more definite ac- j CaaaloM at the close of the sermon,) bunging the total number up tu seventeen ns it result of the first five days of the meeting. Mr Rubbell s subject was. "Why do men do evil." He said: It is a j er hard matter for us to renlUe Just what it mentis for a man to do evil and then realizing it, to explain Just why he continued In evil doing. Man cannot fully comprehend God's purity, because nearly every thing In man's life Is linked up In someway vlth sin. Put Jesus was a picture of rlod'l purity, for he said, "He that hath een me, hath seen the Pathol also. Heailsing God's purity, some ban wondered why God tempts us. God does not tempt us the devil tempt! us, God allows us to be tempted In older that he may test us. After all. sin nppeiils to the flesh: God appeals t.i the mmd. The body makes a good servant, but a poor master. No hHlnall agenc. is able to con .pier sin. and heal us from Its effects nothing but Christ can cleanse us mid keep us pure. Come lonlRht.
